Deformation Uniform Scale Node
The Deformation-Uniform-Scale effect node let you create the squash and stretch effect on your animated deformation rig. You can scale the rigged element on the opposite axis of the deformer (width).
How to use the Deformation-Uniform-Scale node
- In the Node view, navigate to the deformation node to which you want to add a Deformation-Uniform-Scale node.
- In the Node Library view, select the Deformation-Uniform-Scale node and drag it to the Node view.
- Connect the Deformation-Uniform-Scale node directly below the lowest deformation node in your chain.
- Connect the Deform-Uniform-Scale node to all the drawing nodes it should scale.
- In the Node view, select the Deformation-Uniform-Scale node.
- Display the Uniform Scale controls in the Camera view by pressing Shift + F11
- In the Camera view, drag the handle to resize the width of the limb. You can also use the Scale field to enter a specific value. These parameters can be animated over time.
NOTE: If the controls are too far away from the deformer, you can change the default display of the Deformation-Scale and Deformation-Uniform-Scale controls in the Preferences dialog box to bring them closer.
